Posted on January 21, 2011

WGVU will host a free screening of “Surviving Auschwitz: Children of the Shoah” at Grand Rapids Civic Theatre on Tuesday, January 25, at 6:30 p.m.

The WGVU documentary follows two concentration camp survivors during their journey back to Auschwitz. Tova Friedman and Frieda Tenenbaum were among the youngest of 7,000 prisoners found alive by a regiment of the Soviet army at the end of World War II. In 2004, the two women journeyed to Auschwitz accompanied by their own children and a WGVU film crew.
